We really want one of these units, but they quit making them. We will pay full retail price for a used one in good shape if you have it.
Thanks! Erik & Skip

Damn, I have 3 of the grey ones, the #3. I'd part with a great condition one for @ $30.
I think that the small purples, the #1's, could be great earrings.

Mesage sent - thanks mctwisted.
Bill edit: we have the #1 and after much effort, have only found a single placement for it...at ground level.

The #1 is a friggin Barbie-cam. The weight of a plastic doll is about all it would ever hold. Mine is now the world's most expensive keychain ornament. It's a marvel of just plain ludicrous engineering.
I actually saw a guy pushing 200 pounds take a lead fall on a little green Z-2 ... and it held... :0... CRAZY!

Z-1 I'm assuming this is the smallest cam ever made:
It's just silly small. For anyone who hasn't seen one.. the head is only like 1/4 inch across.

Don't discount the #1. It goes in LA slots like nobody's business!
I wouldn't care to fall on it, though.

Adatesman, they changed the design to make the stem 1" longer at some point.
I am guessing that people were burying the cam cuz it is tiny or it was rotating under weight, and either way, it was getting stuck with the short stem.

Honestly, Skully - from my experiences and the 200#-guy-falling-on-Z2-cam-win story, I am ready to try something besides the sliders for the sub-grey-TCU sized parallel cracks...
Edit: Notice how the elusive Muppetus Pufficus Californiae never reveals whether there was an extraction of said device or the condition.

Well, I was considering the 1, which your Lady brought up.
That 2 is a solid piece. The drift was mine, sir.
Cheers.

If those don't pan out for you I also have one I could part with. Placed two, maybe three times but never fallen on.
